when a good 1.5 million people in scotland are not from here ie poland . can you see them vote to be outside of europe when that would mean that they
will not be entitled to benefits .the uk is filled with foreign migrants enjoying benefits that they do not get at home and next year romania &
albania are welcome in to . the jocks will never get independance not because of oil or whisky but because of WATER the 55 million people in england
go through a lot of it & 85 % of the uks food is imported .how many small countrys of 5 million manage well without oil //fish //whisky on such an
important issue do you think the vote would not be fixed

The latest figures for the year to the end of December 2011 show that the number of people living in Scotland who were born outside the UK is
estimated to be 340,000. The 5 most common countries of birth were Poland (67,000), India (24,000), Republic of Ireland (22,000), Germany (19,000) and
Pakistan (16,000).

As a Brit I have my own issues with the open door EU policies on migration, but it does not help the argument against when dramatic and wholly
inaccurate claims are made before being checked out first.

England (aside from cross border communities) is not currently supplied with any Scottish water, and without massive infrastructure building
of pipelines etc, it is likely to remain that way. I personally do not see this issue particularly affecting Scotlands chances of gaining
independence.

Was reading that they expect all the legal problems to be sorted out in like 16-18 months once they get the vote which should be fun to negotiate NATO
membership/UN currency and lord knows what else.....hate to say but i'm glad i'm on the English side of the cluster f--k of such a stupidly fast
exit strategy

I think we should remain part of the Union. The SNP are a shambles regardless and can't seem to come to a general consensus on basic issues e.g.
immediate EU membership which I'm sure isn't filling prospective voters hearts with confidence.
